Tyche is an initiative started by Uilenstede residents who noticed that there is a lot to do in the Amsterdam / Amstelveen area for people who want more than just studying or working. There are sports clubs, entertainment venues, and places where you can take creative courses. Unfortunately, there were almost no board game clubs.

Yes, if you played Magic or another popular game, you could often find a place. However, if you just wanted to play a game with (new) people, were looking for fellow players for Catan, wanted to try out a new game (before possibly buying it), or had made something yourself that you wanted to try out, there was nowhere to go.
